Eighties Friday

This is my first new eighties set since, um, Halloween. Maybe I should go back to calling it "Irregular Eighties Fridays".

Anyway. Right. Eighties music. Continuing to show that there were actually more good songs recorded in the decade than the twelve or fifteen that crappy Clear Channel stations cycle through in their half-assed retro shows.

As always, I hope you dig them. Next week will see a new show for the week, another eighties set (probably a rerun, as I'm DJing live quite a lot right now), and very probably some additional posts that aren't just playlists.
